When it comes to the construction of the Craftsman Hall, everyone present was stunned. Although they had seen it and had entered more than once, they knew it was different from construction, so the group had to find Ke Jiaxi, a technically eccentric leader. ≤

Sure enough, it did not disappoint everyone. The weird leader patted his chest and said that there was no problem, and he could provide drawings for the craftsman hall. However, the first question was to give him time to draw, which would take about three or four days. In addition, he also hoped that the lord would make some high-level crossbow cart manufacturing drawings for him as soon as possible. He repeatedly improved the crossbow cart several times during this period, but the effect was not very obvious.

Li Ran naturally had no objection to this, but Jiaxi learned it naturally made him cheap. Next, when she asked about the materials for Kaxi to build the craftsman hall, the other party quickly said a lot of things. Li Ran was confused and only remembered a lot of stone, mercury, and sulfur. However, the careful Dorik took out a small notebook he carried with him to record it.

After letting Kegashi leave, Dorik checked the recorded materials with the existing materials in the territory warehouse recorded by Moorga. He found that in addition to a large amount of stone, some materials also need to be purchased, so he presented the details to Li Ran.

Li Ran looked at it and found that there was still a lot missing here. After thinking about it, he said to Dorik, "Why don't you do this? Take advantage of this time and you can do anything around the territory. Tomorrow we will go to Edoron City. I have long wanted to see this Edoron City, and by the way, I will invite some caravans and circuses to come back."

The two of them naturally had no objection to Li Ran's decision, and Morga would not stop him at this time. Instead, he was embarrassed to introduce several acquaintances, all of whom were doing business in Edoron City. If you look for them, you would be cheaper.

After learning that Li Ran was going to Edoron City, several teammates were also moved. They all wanted to go and see it, but now there is too much trouble in the territory and can't be delayed, so they have to give up.

The next morning, in the sense of going quickly, Li Ran, riding the moon stone beast and Doric, riding a war horse, rushed to Edoron City. In addition to two cavalrymen, the ones responsible for protecting Li Ran were the leader of the Frost Elephant Mastiff and his two twelve-level mutant companions. At this time, Wu Tongtong gave the leader of the Frost Elephant Mastiff a cute name Huihui.

After traveling about hundreds of miles southeast, Li Ran and others entered the official road. The group rested and started rushing. It was not until afternoon that Li Ran vaguely saw a tall castle standing in the endless wilderness ahead.

Through Dorik's introduction, Li Ran knew the size of the city. He surrounded it with a huge stone wall of nearly ten meters centered on the castle, forming a city with a radius of dozens of kilometers. In terms of area, it is more than ten times larger than his territory. Moreover, there are many tall buildings inside from afar, and the degree of prosperity is even more conceivable.

Li Ran, who was riding on the moon stone beast, had not yet approached the city. The first thing he saw was a large farmland ranch, with many observation decks and outposts scattered around. From time to time, one or two teams of guards would walk out to patrol back and forth, and the steps were about the fourth level.

Walking a few kilometers further forward, Li Ran finally saw the gate of the city. After paying a few silver coins to enter, Li Ran looked at the third-level city of the empire. Although it was just a small city, there were all kinds of markets, shops and manufacturing workshops that should be found, and all races could also be seen in the number of people.

Although some races are inherently incompatible, they dare not act randomly in the city. The groups of guards that appeared at this time were no longer the low-level sentries outside the city, but standard imperial guards. They were all extraordinary, and they were not as high-level warriors.

Wandering around the city for a while, Li Ran and others came to a tavern under the guidance of Dorik, and had a full meal. They ate a strange root-like object, which looked like carrots in reality, but they had a strange meat flavor when chewed. Dorik said that this is a local specialty of wood lithium meat, and the city lord here can make a lot of money every year.

Moreover, this kind of wood lithium fruit, wood lithium fruit, is also another specialty. Although it is not as famous as wood lithium meat, adding it to the wine can improve the quality of the wine, and selling it to other cities every year can also make a lot of money. This is also one of the main sources of income for the city lord.

Li Ran looked at the people in the tavern and suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, Lord Doric, do you know what the name of the city lord is?"

Dorik looked around and nodded and said softly: "This city lord is named Anan Sepkis. He is a fortress, which is commonly known as the swamp clan. His father's clan was once stationed in the dark forest. During a mission, he saved Duke Seners, one of the three major dukes of the empire. At that time, in order to save Seners, his tribe suffered heavy casualties, so Duke Seners thanked him and promoted his father to viscount. At that time, the original city lord of Edoron City died and no one inherited the position of the city lord, so Duke Seners gave the city to him and his tribe, so that his tribe could reproduce and reap the grace of life. Later, the city lord's father passed away. As his first heir, he naturally became the city lord."

Li Ran said oh, "Looking at the development here, I think this city lord should be a wise person now."

Doric smiled and said, "Then you're wrong. If you want to say that the father of the city lord is indeed a character, when the duke first handed over the city to him, he heard that because the original city lord was neglected to manage in his later years, he was already in a semi-aborted state. It took only a few years for him to look brand new. In addition to the specialty products sold to various places, the military strength has also increased exponentially, and has emerged in the Imperial Competition several times."

Li Ran continued to ask: "Then what is the character of this city lord?"

Dorik said disdainfully: "After all, it is not a real noble. Like many hereditary lords, the biggest hobby of this lord today is gold coins and beauty. Fortunately, under the guidance of his father, some of the tribesmen are already experts in management, so the city can still be maintained, including the buildings you see, most of which were built by his father at that time. Since I came to the territory with Molga, I have been there for more than ten years, and every time I come here, I am the same."

After listening carefully to Dorik's words, Li Ran chatted with him for a while, got up and left the tavern.

Next, under the leadership of Dorik, everyone first came to the market and negotiated several mobile trade fleets. After paying thousands of gold coins as deposits in the trading hall, these trade fleets agreed to arrive within the time specified by Li Ran, but asked the other party to provide protection on the way outside the official road.

As for the purpose of the deposit paid before, it is nothing more than protecting the interests of these mobile trade fleets. After all, they are entrusted to go to other people's territories to do business and are weak. If they are robbed in the territory, the deposit will not be refunded. The trading center will hand over the deposit to the trade fleet as compensation depending on the loss.

If the mobile trade convoy even causes casualties, the city as a guarantee for the trading center will seek justice from the criminal territory, and even attack the criminal territory to punish criminals.

On the contrary, if the mobile trade fleet goes to the territory and completes the transaction smoothly, they will go to the trading center to prove that the entrusted territory can be used to get the deposit back from the trading center, the premise is of course to pay a part of the guarantee fee, which is generally about 10%.

After discussing the business fleet, Li Ran and others started shopping in nearby shops and spent nearly two hours collecting all the materials in the manufacturing craftsman hall. Of course, there is no stone in it, and that kind of large items are not sold in the market.

When he arrived at the stone supplier located in the south of the city, he learned that his stone factory was still outside the city and had to order the goods if he needed a large amount. There was no way, Li Ran had to pay hundreds of gold coins as a deposit. However, he asked the other party to hurry up and secretly stuffed the clerk a few gold coins. The other party expressed his willingness to deliver it tomorrow afternoon and would help Li Ran and the others contact a cheap and fast transportation convoy.

After busy for a long time, it was getting darker. Li Ran could go offline and rest for a while before coming again, but considering that Dorik had two knights, Li Ran decided to stay here for one night.

The temporary settlements that are not local residents are all located in the southeast of the city, with many hotels and taverns inside, and of course more are guards.

When Li Ran arrived here, it was dark. This time Doric took Li Ran to a dwarf tavern. The wine sold here was made of adding wood lithium fruit. After Li Ran tasted it, he felt that it was quite special, somewhat similar to the mixed cocktail.

Perhaps it was the first time he came to the city on the battle map. Li Ran looked around curiously, and all he thought about was what he saw and heard in his heart. Although during the chat with Dorik, Li Ran already knew that the Khanlok Empire where he was was only a small and medium-sized empire, the third-level city he saw today was almost the same as the same-level city on the world map, and there were also some buildings unique to the battle map, which he did not expect.

I don’t know if there are many taverns and restaurants here, but the temporary settlements under the night sky actually show a different kind of prosperity. People of all races appear here to drink and chat. Of course, they are all from nearby territories, selling specialties or buying something back.

Just as Li Ran was curiously looking at a half-linger with a strange-looking look through the crystal floor-to-ceiling window of the tavern, a noise suddenly came from a distance. He saw a group of lizard men expelled by a luxurious car pulled by four high-end mana bulls. Behind this luxurious car were dozens of strange-looking lizard knights.
